1230. Scout Encounters

Hearing the scout's exclamation, Su Dingfang hurriedly stared at it, only to see that in the vast white snowfield, there seemed to be a few different colors moving rapidly.

"General, that's the Tuyuhun scouts, about a hundred people, rushing in our direction." There is a specialization in the art industry, and the scouts are carefully selected after all, and their eyesight and experience are stronger than Su Dingfang, the commander of the army.

Su Dingfang did not hesitate when he heard this, and immediately shouted with his troops: "All retreat down the hillside and ambush here." He said and pointed to the soldiers next to him, "You quickly go and tell General Manager Li that you have found more than 100 enemy scouts, and ask the light cavalry to come and encircle and annihilate this enemy." The soldiers were ordered to go back from one side.

Su Dingfang also ordered the two scouts to be correct, "You two each lead the men and horses of the headquarters in front of the left and right flanks, and when I fight, I will come to surround this group of enemy troops."

The two teams each led five groups of 50 people and went to ambush on both flanks of the mountain recesses in front.

As long as these more than 100 enemy scouts cross this hillside, they will find that there are some Su Dingfang leading 100 people on one side of the hillside, and there are 50 people on the left and right in front, so the three-way attack, 200 elite scouts of the Tang army flank more than 100 Tuyuhun scouts, it should be a sure victory, not to mention that Su Dingfang has sent someone to inform Li Daliang, as long as this group of enemy scouts is entangled, when the Tang army's light cavalry comes, they can be completely annihilated, so as to achieve the military goal of concealing and sneaking up on Mantou Mountain.

As he spoke, Su Dingfang swept away the thick snow on the ground, and his ears were pressed against the cold grass, and he could already feel the slight vibration of the earth, and the experienced scout also heard it, and said in a low voice: "Less than five hundred steps."

Su Dingfang nodded slightly, comforted the horses under his crotch, and clenched the spear.

The sound of horses' hooves was already faintly audible, and the enemy was about to cross the hillside in front of them, and the clattering of horses' hooves was easily heard in the windy and snowy grassland.

However, just as the sound of the horse's hooves was approaching, it stopped abruptly, and Su Dingfang's hand couldn't help but tighten, "They stopped...", the scout whispered.

At the same time, on the other side of the hillside, more than 100 Tuyuhun cavalry scouts were stationed on horseback.

"Alugui, what's going on? Why not go? "In the Tuyuhun cavalry team, there is one person who seems to be the leader.

Seeing the man leading the way in front of him, he suddenly stopped his horse, dismounted and leaned over the ground to look at something, sticking his head and shaking his nose as if he was smelling something.

Suddenly, the Tuyuhun scout named Alugui exclaimed, "Here, here, Langzhong, there are a few grains of horse manure here, and it has just been pulled out, well, it's still hot." Alugui pointed to a few grains of horse manure that had fallen on the side with a thin layer of snow and shouted, and touched his hands and smelled it, but it was still hot.

Tugu Hun Lang, who spoke before, was also shocked when he heard this, turned over and dismounted, and went to check.

Tuyuhun is a state power established by the Xianbei people, who have established many countries in the Central Plains (such as Qianyan, Houyan, Xiyan and other Murong Zhuyan countries; Northern Wei Dynasty, Western Wei Dynasty and other Tuoba clans, Zhu Wei States; Nanliang Baldness; Western Qin beggar Fu clan and so on), learn the culture and system of the Han people, so Tuyuhun is also to learn from the Han dynasty to formulate the official positions of king, duke, servant (that is, minister of state), general, etc., Langzhong is the middle and low-level official positions of Tuyuhun, similar to the Tang Dynasty's captain or captain.

Su Dingfang's face was solemn, facing the wind, they seemed to be able to hear someone on the other side of the hill talking. Was it discovered...... Su Dingfang secretly guessed in his heart.

No, they can't wait like this, if the enemy sends a man to the top of the hill and sees them, they are actually stationed on horseback, and they do not rush over the hillside in one breath, and the ambush seems to be a failure.

Su Dingfang immediately made a decision, and ordered in a soft voice: "All of them, silence, follow me slowly up to the top of the slope."

More than 100 scouts followed Su Dingfang to carefully drive the war horse and slowly went up the hillside.

In the howling cold wind, I looked slightly, and I saw a large group of Tuyuhun people in the middle of the slope, and the first few in front of them were still dismounted and squatting on the ground talking about something, and they were still visiting left and right from time to time.

Su Dingfang was busy shrinking his head, and secretly took care of it, the enemy stopped in the middle of the slope, and he condescended to rush down to kill, so he could be caught off guard.

He took off his bow and arrows, stretched out his bow and set up his arrows, and was about to shoot the leader who dismounted, when suddenly, a war horse snorted behind him.

A good Su Dingfang, without the slightest hesitation, knew that it was exposed the moment the war horse snorted, and immediately leaned over, and at a glance, he loosened the bowstring.

"Kill" was only one word, Su Dingfang turned over on his horse, patted his horse and rushed down, more than 100 Tang troops followed him, and a scout encounter broke out.

I saw that the arrow shot away in the cold wind and snow, Tuyuhun people were Xianbei people who could shoot Shanqi, how could they not hear the sound of the bowstring, they were immediately shocked, and before they could react, they only heard the leader Lang Zhong screaming and staggering to the ground.

"Langzhong..."Tuyuhun scout Alugui only had time to scream, when he saw a little shining spear tip in the snow, a good Alugui, worthy of being a Tuyuhun elite scout, immediately turned over and rolled, not only dodged this shot, but also rolled down the hillside.

"Bang~" missed a shot, Su Dingfang only glanced at Alugui who rolled down the hillside, and did not put away the gun, and with a wave of the momentum, the head of the gun slapped on the head of the Tuyuhun scout who was hurriedly beating the horse, and suddenly, the red and white burst open.

Hundreds of Tang troops condescended, rushed down, first stabbed out of the spear in their hands, more than ten bayonets, and then turned around the horse, after the melee stalemate, it was to hang the spear, draw out the horizontal knife hanging on the side of the horse, or chop or chop, to deal with the Tuyuhun people holding the scimitar stick, the momentum is strong and heavy, and the sharp and tough horizontal knife is naturally dominant.

After two rounds of killing, the Tang army had gained the upper hand, and the two teams of men and horses in ambush on the other side of the hill also rushed over, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back.

With a stabbing sound, the spear in his hand cut through the leather armor on the enemy's waist, opened a big hole, the skin and flesh turned out, and blood splashed everywhere, so far this is not a fatal injury, Su Dingfang backshot, the tip of the gun steadily swept through the neck of the enemy who covered the wound, and brought up a blood line, this breathless action, coupled with a blood line in the cold wind and snowflakes, this is simply a slaughter art.

Not long after, this simple encounter was to break the siege, eight or nine people were surrounded in the middle of dozens of Tang troops, already throwing weapons, and another five or six people actually broke through the encirclement and beat horses and ran wildly in the direction of Mantou Mountain.

"Don't let anyone go." Su Dingfang shouted, patted his horse and chased after him, and dozens of Tang soldiers behind him also quickly followed.

Hung the spear on one side, picked up the bow, opened the bow and arrows, kicked the exaggerated BMW, the war horse screamed, accelerated violently, getting closer and closer, to see the range, an arrow, the Tuyuhun scout in front of him is also worthy of being a warrior who can be a scout, and he also sensed it, and he leaned over to dodge, but he didn't expect that the arrow was not shooting him at all.

An arrow hit the horse's buttocks, the war horse suffered pain, raised its hooves and screamed, and the Tuyuhun scout who leaned over was accidentally thrown off the horse.

Su Dingfang grinned, took a sip of wind, and then glared and shouted: "Shoot the horse."

Since there are bilateral stirrups and high bridge saddles, the Tang Army's riding and archery skills have become more and more sophisticated, so while galloping, while stretching the bow and arrows, put it on the front, it is an extremely good few people can do it, and now it is indeed the basic skill of a Tang Army cavalry, not to mention the elite scouts.

After all, as a scout, every scout is a carefully selected elite, not only excellent in martial arts, but also in other things such as courage, mind, and so on.

It's not just that the Tuyuhun people and horses are sleepy or what, they can't run away from the Tang Army's dozens of people, the distance is getting closer and closer, as the horses scream, the last enemy scout is also hit by three arrows in his body, five or six arrows in his horse, and he swayed to the ground.

At this point, in this scout encounter, the Tang army won completely, and the Tuyuhun scout team was completely annihilated.

"Clean up along the road, take away what you can take, and cover what you can't with snow." Su Dingfang ordered.

This time, the military purpose of their partial division is to take Mantou Mountain, and if possible, capture Mantou City, in short, to eliminate the enemy army on Mantou Mountain and involve the enemy army in Mantou City.

Mantou Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the mountain pass is steep, Li Jing's tactics are to surprise attack if you can, it is best not to attack, if you want to make a surprise attack, then you must not let people be prepared in advance.

Therefore, this road is extremely hidden, and now when you encounter this group of scouts, you must go all out to annihilate them.

Dozens of Tang troops got the order and excitedly dismounted and looted, although there were only a few Tuyuhun scouts, and the property must not be much, but the fur on the body could be stripped off, and the camp at night could be warmer.

There are also those scimitars or something, although the Datang weapons are better than this, but they are iron, and they can be brought back to the furnace to be rebuilt. The useless things that can't be taken away, and then covered with snow, said that in the distance, even if you stand in front of you, you don't know that there are dead bodies under the snow.

The sound of horses' hooves approached, Su Dingfang was excited, and when he stared at it, it was his own person, it was the light horse sent by Li Daliang, and it was no one else, it was Qi Bi He Li.

"General Su, what's going on? Can there be Xianbei people who escape? ”

As soon as he returned to the camp, Li Daliang hurriedly asked, if someone escaped, then the enemy army in Mantou Mountain learned of the movement of the army and took precautions, then it would be difficult.

"Please rest assured that the enemy scout squad has a total of one hundred and eight people, killed ninety-nine enemies, captured nine, and none of them escaped." Su Dingfang had already counted the number of people and the results of the battle.

"Okay, and make a contribution to General Su", Li Daliang was also happy when he heard this.

In the recess of the mountain, the Tang army's camp tent was in this sheltered low depression, except for the necessary patrols, guards and scouts, all the other Tang troops rested in the camp, and after a day's walk, they were hungry and cold, and they were really tired.

In the tent of the Chinese army, there are faint lights, fur is spread on the ground, and a topographic map is placed on it.
